""I think they didn't have the courage because Ruben Amorim wanted me here but from the club's side I felt that if I left, it wouldn't be so bad. "Cristiano advised me, but the final decision always rested with me. I decided to stay because I genuinely love the club, but loyalty isn't as well regarded as it once was.""
""I could have left in the last transfer window and I would have earned much more money. I was going to leave a season ago − I won't say where − but I would have won many trophies that season. I decided to stay, also because of family reasons, but because I genuinely love the club.""
""The conversation with the manager also made me stay. But, from the club's side, I felt a bit like, 'If you leave, it's not so bad for us.' It hurts me a bit. More than hurting, it makes me sad because I'm a player who [there is] nothing to criticise. I'm always available, I always play, good or bad. I give my all.""
Bruno Fernandes turned down a mega-money offer from Al-Hilal for family reasons and genuine love of Manchester United. He felt saddened and hurt by what he perceived as the club's indifference and a prioritisation of money over loyalty. Fernandes noted that Cristiano Ronaldo offered advice but the final decision remained his. He emphasised his consistent availability, commitment and loyalty on the pitch, and contrasted his own dedication with what he perceives as diminished regard for loyalty among some teammates and club officials.
